The Travel Giraffe

[Lesley Cox]

Welcome back Gerry, don't start munching on the Aconitum. You'll get a sore tummy.

Stellan, can you say something about what seems to be a large selection of statues for garden purposes? Dwarfs, etc. The adult-sized one on the left reminds me strongly of a lovely friend I'll be seeing in Australia in a few days, but I don't know how he comes to be in Roumania!

I really like the little haystacks too.

Are you thinking of Otto in his chef's outfit?

Stellan,
Pay attention to Gerrys neck - Romania (Transsylvania) is the home of Dracula - and Gerry has a very long neck! Why not feed him with some garlic?

No Fermi, it was the gentleman from Kenlock I was thinking about. It was the hirsute appendages that did it. Unless he's got rid of those. I'll find out on the 16th.

I don't know much about the large selection of statues. It was in a garden I passed along the road. There are lots of garden statues in Romania and I think this place was the worse of them.

wow, very different from recent travels! beautiful area...

It's not a different travel... I'm going home from Central Asia and are now in Central Europe. I crossed the border from Hungary to Slovakia yesterday. I will in in Austria in few days and from there it's only North back to Sweden. I will be back in Sweden in October

Best wishes for your home-coming Stellan, it's been a mighty journey. Thanks so much for taking us along and letting us share it. You surely deserve some home-grown rest and recreation.

No rest in Sweden... I have to work and save money so I can go again :-) Thinking about to visit Africa this winter and North America in spring.

I have done 27 000 km sence Cairo in Egypt

[arillady]

Wow and hells bells what a journey .... and all on a bicycle
 I have enjoyed all your travels and will await the next great feat.

[Maggi Young]

Ian was hoping he might meet you when he visits Peter soon, Stellan, but that is in September so he will miss you.... what a shame.   We both wish you a good journey home!

[Ragged Robin]

Wow Stellan, what an altogether incredible journey shown on your map - so many interesting plants and places   - Gerry must be the best travelled Giraffe in the world (is he a linguist too   ?)

[cohan]

very impressive voyage! and how long was this trip--was that all at once, or in several stages? (i did look at the website, but it was a while ago, so now i forget 

[Cephalotus]

Stellan you are master. To make such distance on bike. I see you were near my house... I regret I didn't know about that, maybe you could visit my area and I would host you for some time and show surroundings. Till next time. ;-)
